Excellent story, those roads must have been fun to drive. I especially like all the stops for food and beer!

Awesome write-up - thanks for sharing! Been missing ED stories, so this was a nice surprise to see, esp with all the Alpine driving.
I did Stelvio during my M2 ED trip in Oct 2017 and got hooked on Alpine passes. Rented an M2 Comp in June 2019 and did Grossglockner. Sadly, I suffered the same fate as you with Gotthard/Furka/Grimsel/Susten being closed when I came through - and I was there a few weeks later too (June 6). I did hit Klausen on the way. I'm planning another ED trip for next year (obviously not a BMW...) - aiming for July or Aug to make sure all the passes are open this time. I have 14 on my itinerary at the moment, but you gave me a few more passes to consider adding. PS - I need to move to Germany so I can join trips like this!

Ok, so I'm back from my road trip.
Started Monday morning 0530 Ended : Today Friday morning 0200 Total: 2573km. Trip 1: my house in Bayern to slightly north of Hamburg to visit Stern Performance Parts to let them use my car to build a rear seat delete kit. Trip 2: Stern Performance Parts to Blackfish Graphics in Münk to pick up some instagram stickers I got made for my car. Trip 3: Blackfish Graphics to Kaiserslautern to visit some friends Trip 4: Kaiserslautern to Adenau where my other friend lives, from there I would stay 2 days so we can hangout and drive our cars to the Nurburgring Nordschleife. I did 3 laps in my car one with Misha so stay tuned for his video! Trip 5: Nürburg back to my home.

So, what happens when you buy crisps at the bottom of a mountain and then take them 2544 metres high up?

As per the Susten Pass, the Furka was also closed at the very top.

The Spulga Pass. The Swiss side is not my favourite, that is the Italian side which has tunnels and tighter hairpins.
